| | AOL Readies Standalone Browser |
 | | Departing from its past embedded strategy, the company has made the forthcoming AOL Browser a stand-alone piece of software and it will not need the America Online client software to be running to be used, sources familiar with the software said. |
 | | Sources said the AOL Browser contains many features missing from the current IE software, such as tabbed browsing and "tear-off tabs," where a tabbed window can be torn off into a new window. |
 | | The AOL Browser will also provide several tools dubbed "Power Browsing." These new features let viewers zoom in and out on a page, force a Web page to display in high-contrast for the vision-impaired, and highlight or list links on a page. |
